One important aspect of project life cycles is the ability how projects keep in step with general technical development.
It may be the case that five or ten years from now a lot of computers will be equipped with touch screens. It could be a good idea to think about how FVWM would cope with touch screens in the future. Decisions should be made: Is FVWM supposed to support touch screens sometime or not? If touch screen support is a good idea, how are the steps to achieve that goal? Someone asked for project ideas for GSoC 2012. Would it make sense to let touch screen support be a project idea for GSoC 2012 or any other year in the future? At least, it could be an idea to develope a driver that converts finger touch events into mouse events (moves and clicks) to be able to reuse old software sometime in the future. Just some strategic considerations. The earlier these questions are asked the better for the project. - Michael -
